Amit Sana, the runner-up on the Indian Idol reality show, arrived at the rediff.com office on April 6, for a live chat with our readers.
The 22-year-old singer charmed everyone as he signed autographs, posed for photographs and sang a Sonu Nigam number.
And he answered readers' questions with keen interest.
For those who missed the chat, here is the first part of the transcript:

Hi Amit, Hope you have been able to cope with the pressures that come along with Celebrity status.SomeoneCool :
Hey Amit.. your voice is very similar to Sukhwinder and when u were singing Kisna I really couldn't figure out it was you but my question is.. could u tell us honestly if u had crush on anyone in Indian Idol if yes then who? Please be honest!Garima_2005 :

Hi, AMIT....when can I see in telugu ...singing telugu songs..commom tell...being telugu bida ;)SanchiVerma :
AMIT, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND WITH YOUR FAMILY, WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU? FAMILY VALUES OR YOUR LOVE.SeriousQn :
my wife had tears in her eyes when u came second. We would have done at least 500 sms to you, which our bill showed later :). But what hurt us the most was there was no immediate announcement from Sony about awarding any contract to you, given that they had immediately declared the same for Rahul Vaidya. It seemed a little unfair at that point. I don't know what followed thereafter as I lost interest in news related to Indian Idol.I
n the first part of Amit Sana's chat with rediff.com readers, the young singer said that he was not comfortable with showbiz yet, and that he hoped he wouldn't get lost in the galaxy of 'stars.'He needn't worry. He has a nationwide audience who can't seem to get enough of him.
In the second and concluding part of the chat transcript, Amit talks about his music career.

hi amit, your voice is more suitable for songs which need lot of energy.. u sound ravishing in those songs. But romantic songs do not sound so good.. please don't mind. It is for us to acknowledge our strong and weak points and go ahead...sab_kuch_bhula_de :

You must have been feeling great Amit Sana, but plz, don't do any wrong in excitement. Try to digest ur success. You have a good voice and you can give complex to many big stars today, just be as you are today. Plz never be arrogant. Would you?Nishigandh :

AMIT APNI NAZRE KARAM HUM PER BHI DALOraksha :
Hi Amit,Your voice always stood out from the other contenders, you have got variations in your voice which I believe abhijeet didn't have, nyways, leaving that apart, why don't you start an Indian tour and promote your voice( I know people already know what a g8 voice u have got), but a tour would probably bring you back on the same platform as abhijeets.Think about it, and best of luck for ur futureI LOVE AMIT :
REPLYIN RAKSHA ONLYneeru :
Amit, R U N LOVE? If yes whose the lucky girl?cdotdelhi :
India down fall is due to CRICKET and BOLLYWOOD ,virtual stars like you as created by hype of media. they never do any constructive work for country .Real contributors are Engineers ,Scientists, Doctors ,Economists, laks of workers who are responsible of greater productivity.are you satisfied with my point,have a courage to prove me wrongI LOVE AMIT :
